Unfinished

Starbucks, Borders, Oxford. I was disappointed I didn't get to finish this before the chap shuffled off; he had a great, sad face. A friend persuaded me to upload it anyway.

Brushpens

Starbucks, Borders, Oxford. Another failure with the brushpens. It's never good when you feel you're just trying to save a drawing.

Unfinished failure

Borders Starbucks, Oxford. Pencil and brush-pens. I pretty much aborted it as the work with the brush-pens wasn't going very well; didn't really know what I was doing with them.

I was reading a book manuscript for a friend in Borders, Oxford and liked the look of the guy at the top, so turned a page over and sketched with a Biro. I was less happy with the young women I attempted afterwards.

On a Napkin, Starbucks, Oxford

Starbucks, Borders, Oxford. First sketch for a while. Someone made a nice comment on this in passing as I was doing it.

Sketching the punters

Done just now in 'Far From the Madding Crowd' in Oxford. After a nice plate of Gammon 'n' Eggs. Glasses are a challenge.
